Just heard about this. The afterlife has gotten a major technological upgrade in the past month. May they all program in peace, free from the constraints of requirement docs and deadlines.

There is some SERIOUS hacking going on in the afterlife. Watch the fuck out.

I REALLY hope these guys were all atheists. I can't WAIT to go to hell and join the greatest minds of our age...

Damn...
I looked at his wikipedia page right after I found out Dennis Ritchie died, and I felt kinda good knowing he was still around...
I guess it's the beginning of the end of the lives of the early pioneers of modern computing. I am very great-full that they have contributed so much to all our lives.
Where was that joke about God making a new version of earth and he's recruiting programmers/computer pioneers or something like that?

Logically thinking minds, I think you can guess what their religious standpoints might be.

Who knows what kind of work is going on down there... up there?

I'm pretty sure Bill Gates is a robot.

What are the chances of all these people dying one after another?
